* Every minute counts: you have eight hours to escape justice. Time is always ticking!
* Who can you trust? Some characters are friendly, and some are out to get you. Who will you befriend? Who will you betray?

Fantastic offline mystery game! I can't say anything else without spoilers, but definitely worth a try/buy if you like solo adventure and/or mystery games!

I've heard it's an incredible game, but crashes after about 10 seconds of load screen. If it doesn't work with certain phones, the play store compatibility check needs to be updated, to save others the disappointment.
